Cool new site Sizeasy lets you enter the dimensions of something, and then compare it in 3D with various other objects – CD case, drink can, pack of cards, matchbox, etc. Useful if you’re thinking of buying something, but want a bit more feel for how big it will actually be.

Title: brand new Pan parker
Description: kool
Starting Bid: £20 (1 bid)
Postage: £5
Picture: None.
Too strange to think someone has actually bid on this, but the bidder has no feedback at all, and the seller has very little. I can’t help but think this is all a set up to exchange feedback.

They’re not quite business cards – they’re a bit too narrow. They’re not just printed photos, though – they have your contact details on the back. And they’re not as dull as such cards usually are – not only do you pick your own photos from Flickr to use, but you can use a different photo on every single card.
If you’re a Flickr Pro user, the deal is even better – they’ll print up ten cards for you, with a Flickr logo on the back along with your chosen info, for free. Including delivery anywhere in the world.
If you don’t have a Flickr Pro account, you’ll have to pay, but the prices seem pretty good – $20 for 100 cards, including delivery anywhere.
There’s even a Flickr pool set up to see what people are doing with their cards.
No idea about quality yet, but Little MOO, their Print Robot software just mailed me and said they’d be sent in the next few days. Certainly worth a go if you’re a Pro subscriber at Flickr, and an interesting idea even if you’re not.

Quite a lot of old books on handwriting and penmanship from IAPETH – all browsable online, or downloadable as PDFs.
Found via a post from FLZapped on FPN.

Just to make things worse for Philofaxy – leather tickler – there you go, Google, chomp on that.

Hmm. This gives me an idea for an article – silly photography. Photography is often taken too seriously, but that certainly doesn’t seem to be a problem at Hotel Bed Jumping HQ – they’ll post photos of you jumping on a hotel bed.
Boing.

I’m sure there’s a joke creeping around here about giving a rat’s ass.
